Twitter users react to the ‘Teletubbies’ characters having children

Twitter users have been reacting to the news that the characters from the Teletubbies appear to have had children on the show.

The popular children’s programme, which debuted in 1997 on CBBC and initially ran until 2001, was revived in 2015 for a new block of episodes.

The show has now introduced infant versions of the Teletubbies characters – known as ‘Tiddlytubbies’ – into proceedings, with the original four characters (Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa, and Po) seemingly the parents of the new children.

Twitter users have been reacting with incredulity at the new introductions, with many expressing bemusement over the fact that the original four Teletubbies characters appear to be the parents of the new infant characters.
